Abstract

The diverter valve (1) comprises
  • an inlet port (5),
  • more than one outlet ports (7a,7b) and
  • a diverter tube (9) extending therebetween and being movable from a first position in which it is in fluid communication with the inlet port and with one of the outlet ports and a second position in which it is in fluid communication with the inlet port and with another one of the outlet ports.
    • Sealing means (24) are positioned between each of the inlet and outlet ports and the diverter tube, and
  • a seal protection member (25) is positioned between the diverter tube and the sealing means of at least one of the outlet ports to protect the sealing means during movement of the diverter tube.
